But being really good at social media content hasn&#8217;t always been smooth-sailing. She is believed to have had huge drama with another influencer, Emilie Kiser.<\/p>\n<p>After Emilie&#8217;s three-year-old son, Trigg, passed away in May 2025, Avery posted a TikTok video wearing a necklace with a T initial, which many felt was in bad taste. They have since stopped following each other on social media, with Avery saying it was the &#8220;hardest year&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><iframe height=\"578\" width=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/player\/v1\/7686999338563783949?embed_from=oembed&#038;music_info=1&#038;description=1&#038;autoplay=1&#038;muted=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Avery is married to David Woods, who she shares two children, Ziggy and Stevie, with. She also has stepchildren from her husband&#8217;s previous relationship. Before her online fame, she lived pay check to pay check, and has spent almost a decade posting on social media.<\/p>\n<p>She first started posting from a private Instagram account with 200 followers. She said on her Cheers! podcast: &#8220;I went public after Cherokee reached out. They noticed our school uniforms were Cherokee, sent me a DM. I was so broke and excited for free scrubs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Avery graduated nursing school at 22, and is now 29. Despite how successful her social media story has been, her kids won&#8217;t be allowed to use it until they&#8217;re 18. She said, &#8220;I want my kids to live a normal childhood, so I am respectful of things that happen in our family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like <\/i><i><span draggable=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reality Shrine<\/a><\/span><\/i><i> on <\/i><i><span draggable=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/realityshrineofficial?rdid=TzQu2kEd2cUqU4rD&amp;share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F14zX5cKubf%2F#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a><\/span><\/i><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She has a pretty well-known podcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":249734182,"featured_media":66560,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1358],"tags":[2284],"class_list":["post-66559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-the-secret-lives-of-mormon-wives-orange-county"],"acf":[],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/11\/12\/how-mormon-wives-avery-woods-went-from-broke-nurse-to-social-media-fame\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"How Mormon Wives\u2019 Avery Woods went from &#8216;broke nurse&#8217;
